Hi
Firstly Annie, thanks for the work with getting this issue brought up and
secondly moderating the whole 'she'bang.
I guess the first decision is "do we change dates?" but...IMHO many people
will really only want to consider this with respect to what the alternatives
might be. Sort of the she devil you know versus the she devil you don't...if
you get my drift.
So in determining whether we should decide to change I propose that the
following occur first:
1. If we decide to reconsider new dates that the current dates are
automatically nominated as a possibility.
2. That a list of alternative possible dates is agreed before we vote to
reconsider.
3. Clearly the vote to reconsider needs 2/3 rds majority but are we then
going to have a simple majority based vote for the alternatives as per
normal? If only two or three dates are placed in nomination then I see no
problem but if there's more then I do see to much dispersion occurring over
a range of dates (or at least a reasonable possibility that this would
happen). I therefore propose that we CAN ONLY CONSIDER TWO other weeks along
with current week in the revote...should it be required.
I am making these proposals as a way to ensure that any post vote bitching
is limited because everybody knows/knew about the entire process.
My position on all of this is:
1. We should vote to reconsider
2. Don't care what week as long as its between April 8th and May 27th. June
is definitely tempting fate with the weather and anything earlier is
problematic for me to get to.
3. N+I is a factor (for me personally) but not a deciding factor in coming
to DLV
Hugs
Michelle
